Deoxyribonucleic acid or also known as DNA is a long molecules that contains uniques genetic code. DNA is a hereditary material in humans and almost the other organisms.
I'm studying the lessons that I'm expecting that we would tackle in a few days. I'm currently scrolling in my phone, looking for a music to play. When I found the music I'm looking for I put down my phone, the music is Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 by Chopin.
I'm done reading about DNA and RNA differences. My phone vibrated, the music also stops for a second and it plays again. Notification from who?
I opened my phone and there's a message notification from someone. Ano ba kailangan niya?
Ciaran
(President)
Office. 8:30 AM Tomorrow.
He messaged that I think it meant that we should meet at the office tomorrow in the morning, for what reason? I dont know.
NOTED!
Don't be late.
He warned me not to be late, as if I'm always late? When did I ever been late?

alking downstairs I can hear the piano sounds clearly. At the last step in the stairs I saw Mama playing the piano when suddenly there's a little boy enters the house, he ran to Mama who stop playing. He caress the little boy's face, the kid pointed out the piano, Mama nods at him before she continues to play the piano.
The piano is in the center of a living room, I assume. I don't know who owns the house, it's beautiful, there's a renaissance style in some parts of the living room. The piano sounds keeps on playing on the background as I walk around.
Mama is wearing a long sleeve above the knee dress, in color beige.
The piano sounds stops and I saw a man standing in the middle of the stairs, he's looking at my Mama's back. Mama and the kid is talking about something. I can only see the side of the man hence of it, his head is turned away from my visuals.
I was about to walk closer to the man to see his face when I heard my ringtone. I was suddenly welcomed by the light coming out from my study light. I had to close my eyes and open them again to be able to adjust in the brightness.
There's a message from Princes. Talking about what happened earlier, she's teasing me that something is going on with me and the President.
I suddenly remember her stares at him, the heaviness around us. It's like what happened last night with President and Nana Sey and Abuelo. Do they know each other?
I didn't know Mama can play piano, I can't remember Mama saying something about it. I know how to play flute and piano...he taught me to play them but it's just a dream, there's no guarantee that Mama can really play the piano.
It's just a dream...

"Wow! You play that? Awesome!" Little Meira claps her hands as she jumps with pure joy. She watched him play the piano smoothly.
He chuckled, he carry her and walk out from the house and the sea breeze welcomes them. The sun is radiating from above with the blue hues of the sky.
"Pa, look." Meira shows the flying bird with her pouting lips. Her eyes is gleaming with so much excitement. He watches Meira running away from the waves, if she laughs he smiles.
"Am I missing something here?" Ecila asks. She already knows the answer but she still ask, she knows that Meira is having fun whenever she's at the beach. Meira didn't notice her presence.
"She saw me playing the piano, she's so happy..." he informed her.
"I want to teach her to play piano, if she wants and if you agree." Ecila looks at him, confusion is written in her face. He laugh when he saw her face, she still looks beautiful, he thought.
"I want her to have something that at least comes from me...even it's just a talent or a skills," he casually said. The two of them knows something about Meira that others don't know. It's a secret that wounded everyone's heart.
Meira runs to him while her hands is carrying something. "Papa!" she screams.
"Pa!" She stops running in front of them and shows them the starfish she found at the shore.
Ecila is shock after she saw the starfish, she's worried that it may hurt her daughter. He laugh at Ecila's face. Kinuha niya sa kamay ni Meira ang starfish at ipinatong ito malapit sa tubig.
Meira watches him place the starfish she found at the side of the shore. "Why? You like don't me got?" Her eyes is watery, she's in verge of crying. He saw her nose turning red and he knew that she's trying not to cry. He sighed at the pitiful face of her little princess.
"I like it, but I want it to stay where it belongs to, Meir," he carefully explained to her. He wipes her cheeks when a tear escaped in one of her eyes.
Ecila watch him explain things to her in a way she can understand and she won't get confuse. She smiled at the sight of her daughter and him, she's thankful to him. He helped her when she's struggling to take care of her.

I remember being curious and happy when he play the piano, the first time I heard him playing a masterpiece. It's my favorite song up until now...
That's was just one of the happy memories I have with them. I can't wait for them to have their clear schedule and do the things we always do.
"MAGANDANG UMAGA!" he greeted me, in a sing-sang tone. Nakaupo siya sa lamesa niya, wag lang siya mahuli ng teacher dahil paniguradong mapapagalitan siya.
"Aga mo?" I pouted when I remember the reason why I'm here early in the morning. Anong ako ang late siya nga late.
"Pinapunta ako ni President." Tumango siya sa akin. I take a slow steps to the door of our office. I opened the door while my eyes is watching my foot steps. Wag sana ako mauntog.
"Look where you were going." A cold voice echoed at the room. It feels like my hair in my nape stands up. Papatayin niya ba ako sa gulat?
I throw death glares at him. "Kung namatay ako sa gulat, mumultuhin kita." Patabog akong naglakad sa mesa ko at naupo sa swivel chair ko. Mag-kakasakit ba ako sa puso?
"Try me... I'm not scared of ghosts," he taunted me, he smirks at me teasingly. Wala na akong masabi sa kayabangan niya. Inirapan ko na lang siya at kinuha yong cellphone ko. I'm gonna message my mom.
Mama
Ma, morning! Eat breakfast po.
Te quiero, mamá
Goodluck!
Narinig ko ang tunog ng gulong ng upuan niya. Hanggang sa marinig ko ang yapak niya papalapit sa pwesto ko. Inangat ko ang tingin ko sa kaniya, tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Ang dali ko mainis basta siya ang kausap ko.
"Let's go."
Pinapunta niya ako sa office ng maaga tapos aalis rin kami sa office. What the...
"Ms. Ortiz and Mr. Cortez." A woman wearing a corporate attire greeted us. She leads us to a room, meeting room. There was five older people than the two of us, wearing formal clothes.
